How to Access Revision History

ProProfs Knowledge Base collects and stores the page edits on the cloud to let you monitor a page’s history. The feature allows you to track changes on the page level and restore previous versions if necessary.

Benefits of Accessing a Page's Revision History:

• See all previous versions of a page along with their respective dates and time of the creation

• Restore any earlier version of a page

• See the difference in the content of any two versions of a page

• Comment on any version of a page

Here’s a preview of the revision history of a page:
